Faded (Rock Star Trilogy)

his hands through his hair. “Scarlett, we are married .”
    This cannot be happening.
    “Are you absolutely positive? Maybe we just said our vows and didn’t get the actual license.”
    Stephan rolls over and grabs a paper off the nightstand and hands it to me. It’s our marriage license issued by the state of Nevada. Both of our signatures are on it. Which makes it very real.
    “So we’re married,” I say.
    “We are.”
    “What are we going to do about it? Do you think that people know?” I am wishing that I had my phone with me so I could check out some gossip blogs.
    Stephan thinks for a moment. “I don’t think anybody knows, Scarlett. But I definitely don’t think we should tell anybody. My mom would have a heart attack if she knew.”
    “I don’t want to tell Stacy either. Or Bridgett. Or Alec. Ugh, or Anna! They are all going to be so disappointed in us.” I turn to Stephan. “Do you think we should get it annulled?”
    “Before we even have time to consummate our marriage?”
    I laugh. Even through the severity of our situation, Stephan finds a way to cheer me up… even if it only last for a few seconds.
    “I think we should just stay married and not tell anybody. Then in like five years, when we’re actually old enough to be married, we have a big wedding,” he answers.
    “But I’m only nineteen, and you’re eighteen. We are way too young to be married.”
    “That’s why we won’t tell anybody,” he says, like it’s going to be the easiest thing in the world to hide.
    For the first time, I smile. “Are we really doing this?”
    “Yes, we are really doing this, Mrs. Montgomery.”
    Oh my God.
    I’m married.
